Can you imagine trying to do your school work without the internet? Or what life would be like without computers or smartphones?

Today, almost anything can be done online from ordering food to playing games with your friends.

But, your parents and teachers weren't so lucky when they were your age.

We call this rapid development of digital technology, the Digital Revolution.

Did you know that today's smartphones have more processing power than the Apollo 11 spacecraft had on board when it went to the moon in 1969?

Since then, the Digital Revolution has changed all of our lives.

In the second half of the 20th century, scientists began to develop smaller and more powerful, cheaper computers.

Until the 1980s, people didn't have computers in their homes or schools, and most people didn't even have one at work. But, computers soon became necessary for many jobs.

Mobile phones then started to appear. At first, they were huge and could only make phone calls. No texting or browsing the internet.

Today, it's possible to communicate with people using mobile phones without even having to speak, without even having to be in the same country.

The development of technology continues right up to the present day, with improvements to the internet and digital communication happening all the time.

But while the digital revolution has brought many benefits, it's also brought new problems. For example, online bullying, clever scams and nasty trolling, have become serious concerns. If anything like this happens to you, you should talk to an adult you trust.

Over the last 50 years, the Digital Revolution has changed the way we live, learn and work, and new developments will continue to change our lives in the future.

I wonder what life will be like in another 50 years?
